shinuuiih:

He shakes his head, once then again, bringing the tall glass of orange juice to his lips. It tastes strangely salty, too sour, but the mint leaf is a nice touch. The black cigarette he’d been idly smoking sits in the ashtray, only half burned, the scent of cloves lingering in the air. The plate of food in front of him is unfinished and he prods gently at the remaining grilled fish with his chopsticks. His appetite fluctuates all the time, sometimes he just can’t find the energy or interest to eat on a normal schedule, sometimes he’s just forgets about it.

“I was just thinking….” He’s distracted when a waitress stops by, cheerily asking how they’re finding everything and he obviously asks for all the desserts they have available, politely handing her his dinner plate.

 “I was thinking we should go watch something.” 

Her bafflement is only in the moment, a split-second spark, then release. Solji resolves to saying nothing as there’s nothing to be said—his sweet tooth impulse a force to be reckoned with, even when it's put against a prized chef's special. Disappointed maybe, but hardly surprised. When she turns her way: “I’m good, thank you.” On second thought: “Actually, can I get some ice for this please?"

The waitress soon leaves right after after, and she follows her path from the corner of her eye until she trails out of sight. An easy rhythm, one that can only come with practice. With purpose.

“Cool.” It's a familiar suggestion of his, one that draws the tiniest hint of a smile. She's no cinephile by any means, but there’s quiet appreciation for his enthusiasm nonetheless. “Yeah, okay.”  Because there’s no real reason to say no. “Something old or new?”

Autumn chill has her several sweater layers deep and stuck indoors rather than venturing out, finding whatever excuse available to avoid braving the cold. An hour spent in a bleary, bed-head state, thirty minutes stuck between calling a day or dealing with the damn beast horns-first, and another five to finally leave the warm cocoon of her blankets. There’s no rest for the wicked, after all; less so, when time likes to play fickle. 

His invitation is wedged in between two appointments booked for the afternoon. While Solji gets dressed, she turns it over in the back of her mind. Decisions, decisions. How much of an asshole does she want to be today, to even consider cancelling?

The fact that she makes it to his front door anyway, seems to speak for itself. 

“Hi.” 

Off comes the navy blue scarf as she enters, the ends tucked under the lapel of her trench coat. “I don’t think I can stay long—” It’s the start of an apology, but she’s cut off on the dot by a rich smell wafting from the stove. A pause to process, something that seems to say wait. She tosses him a quizzical look. “Are you cooking something?”

An hour is all it takes for her to unfold completely, the grip on the glass no longer tight as it's tilted to her mouth, set down on polished wood. Lively is what they're going for from what it looks like, the bar thrumming with a kind of energy that can only mean it's none other but Friday night: the tantalizing sizzle of grills, a chorus of clinks from ceramic plates and silverware, some line of groovy guitar funk from the band cutting through the babble. 

She licks her lips, finds the light malt of beer, the kick of roasted green peppers. Savory and sweet. It's good. She feels good.

A hand snakes out from her sleeve to cup her bowl of fried noodles, then at the curve of an unopened bottle of Cass. Just one more, just one more excuse clumsily wrapped up into a promise. 

"Hey." The word slips free, sliding slick over the tabletop.  Under the brim of her cap, Solji’s smile is a twist between mirthful and I know that look. "Say something. Just spit it out."

@gyeomih

It all begins with a boy.

(And no, not like that.)

It all begins with a boy that has too much time in his hands. Or maybe too much spare change. Though when it comes to the likes of him, all soft-edged and quiet consideration, the two might be interchangeable. All Solji knows is that kindness isn’t meant to be so free, dime a dozen and aplenty. 

Inside the store, she's allocated to the seat at the front window. The graveyard shift ticks on. The warbled buzz of the merchandiser. Fluorescent lighting in a wash of pale, pale blues. Solace isn't in any of these things but the pages in front of her, absorbed with a practiced sort of patience that is commendable given the lateness of the hour.

In what has become routine, he takes total advantage of her distracted state; by the time she lifts her gaze from the book to the drink placed in the corner, he’s already came and went, back at his place behind the cash register. Even from this angle, nothing appears for a thought save for the single question mark hovering. Something tells her to leave it alone. 

She gets up from the chair, stretching slowly before heading on over to the counter. What should be a greeting is substituted with the muted metal clink as she slides the can over. “This isn’t fair.” A gesture for emphasis. “Six whole cans of coffee free of charge when I haven’t even bought you one?” 

[oxsolji-blog]

It's 1 a.m. and the world is spinning slower. The curtains are drawn back despite the new moon, the pound of rain against the glass.

Rose glow lamp. Still air. A waft of cinnamon. Solji is nestled into the crook of the sofa, pillow in her lap. Mom is opposite to her, right bare foot propped against the edge of the coffee table and humming. She watches her: one toe, then two, then three. Red, red, and red. There were days when the sight alone had implications. Meaning: the champagne colored tube of lipstick on the dresser. The heels. The bittersweet of pomegranate, dark and rich.

"Those are in season now, aren't they?"

"Mhm."

"Mm. I'll go get some next time."

Next time is meant as a promise. Solji's eyes are fixed on the corner of the table, ruby red nail polish on her mother's feet. It makes her think of different things, now. Strawberry picking in Yangpyeong. Cotton florals and sandals that showed their toes. The season was sweeter then, kinder to their skin. Mom had looked just as free as she does now. Not any older, or younger. Perfect in present tense.

There'd been days when Solji wished she had dressed more than her age, days when she'd do less than such. To stand taller, or shrink away from any bout of attention. All that working to the bone, only to get so little in return. She studies where the jut of her ankle thins to the rest of her leg, the shape stopping at the bob of her knee. So much, and for so little.

The vinyl playing in the back crackles softly, barely above the noise of weather.

"Do you want me to do yours?"

She shakes her head, not wanting to leave the spot where she's curled up against the cushions. Wanting instead to leave her like this, at ease. At 40 years, not 20 or 60, free from the burden of gravity. How'd it take her this long to realize?

"Mom?"

"Hm?"

There's a smile heard somewhere in her voice, one that decides nevermind. "They look good."

She wiggles her toes eagerly, the motion strikingly girl-like. "They do, huh?"

"Mhm."

It's 2 a.m. and the world spins into a drowsy haze. Her eyes flutter to a close. It’s still raining. The record plays on, and her mother's voice drifts along sweet and low.

I took my love, I took it down.

hello, thank you so much for your welcomes! ya’ll are a talented bunch and i cannot wait to start writing with u all? wow 

none of solji’s shit is up yet so just take this for now, but ur better off just reading the tl;dr here lol. dm me to plot or give this post a like and i’ll get to u as soon as i can. might be a lil sporadic today ‘cause thanksgiving feasting calls but i will try my best

here’s a cute ass gif:

cool

mom had a highschool sweetheart, said highschool sweetheart knocked her up, mom becomes teen mom. yikes. raises solji pretty much singlehandedly until the family takes the girls back in

her childhood’s straight out of gilmore girls except wealthy grandparents  are strict and awful and far from nice

 rich-kid-fuck roots but has had a very common upbringing lol

was a little aimless during the first half of high school but then year 2 hit and something in her just sparked. passion, it’s a good thing!

got into princeton. mom’s happy, she’s happy, everyone’s happy

and 2 years later she’s transferring out to yonsei lmao. homesickness is a bitch but she doesn’t regret coming back one bit

took a gap year to work as a paralegal at a large firm before applying to law school

ends up having a relationship on the down low with the lawyer she’s working under oops

thankfully he left the place just before she quit and  good fucking riddance cause if word got out that she’d been sleeping with her superior it would’ve been messy. but yeah! they broke up, she’s single now and it feels amazing

not in any of the societies or clubs right now (laughs in ivy league cause been there done that), too busy hitting the books and tutoring kids in gangnam. not easy when ur clientele have pushy demanding mothers, but the pay is probably what keeps her going

basically a careerwoman!rory: a lot more chilled out, decisive and kind of bitchier, though it’s just that she’s really good at holding out her ground when it comes to what she wants and doesn’t want

a voice of reason that’s there if one needs it. usually though she’d like it if heart to heart sessions happened at her volition and availability. 

but when she fucks up, she really fucks up god help her

perpetually unimpressed

looks and dresses like a party girl but she ain’t one
